âMalignant Boomerâ is the latest single from California mincecore maniacs HAGGUS. The track comes by way of the bandâs fiery Destination Extinction full-length, set for release on June 20th through Tankcrimes!
Comments guitarist/vocalist Hambone, “Living in a world run by warmongers and fascists, itâs impossible to escape the consequences of decisions made for you by malignant boomers who shouldâve been dead long ago. HAGGUS is fed the fuck up â and you should be too.”

Ski masks. Pitch shifters. Debaucherous live shows. This is what you think of when you think of mincecore. And when you think of mincecore, you think of HAGGUS. Wasting no time at all, HAGGUS abruptly conquered the DIY grind and punk scenes quickly becoming the ugly face of an entire sub-genre they call mincecore. With a meticulously crafted blend of crust punk and goregrind, they layer almost-poppy guitar riffs with repulsive, pitch shifted vocals â and there isnât a band on the planet that can replicate their infectiously brutal sound. Love âem or hate âem, theyâre the first and only grindcore band that will get a guitar lick or vocal melody stuck on repeat in your head while still making you want to shove sharpened pencils in your ear holes and vomit out your spleen. HAGGUS are undoubtedly the kings of the current extreme underground and are here to unleash total domination. Destination Extinction is a sonic voyage through the entire history of extreme underground chaotic punk and metal and back. This is mincecore. This is HAGGUS.

HAGGUSÂ was forged in 2014 by guitarist/vocalist Hambone as an outlet to merge the traditional sound and politics of mincecore with the sonic barbarity of old-school goregrind. Obsessed with pitch shifters but finding a lack of bands using them that were not labeled misogynistic porno-grind, Hambone set out on an unstoppable quest. Solely influenced by the mighty Agathocles, Hambone was determined to keep the spirit of true mincecore alive encompassing everything from their relentless release schedule to their uncompromising political agenda speaking out against misogyny, sexism, and homophobia in the scene while adding his own style of gore infused vocals into the mix.
Coming from a purely crust and punk background, Hambone has taken a strictly DIY approach with HAGGUS since inception. With a tireless work ethic, the band dropped close to 100 songs within the first six months of existence followed by self-releasing over sixty splits, ten EPs, and three full-length albums while touring over twenty countries since 2014. In traditional mincecore fashion, Hambone is the sole founder and only remaining original member of the band. After a decade of DIY releases, HAGGUS is now part of the Tankcrimes family and their fourth full length album, Destination Extinction, is only the beginning: gore freaks and mince mongers commence! Worldwide mincecore domination is upon us!
